EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Aerofilms van, proudly advertising its services at a National Aviation Day Display event. Steeped in history, these displays were initiated by the visionary Sir Alan Cobham and took place across Britain and overseas from 1932 to 1936. Their primary aim was to promote the numerous advantages of air travel during that era. The Aerofilms van itself stands as a symbol of innovation and progress, with its eye-catching design capturing the attention of onlookers. This mobile advertisement served as a testament to the growing popularity and accessibility of aviation during this transformative period. The photograph exudes an aura of excitement and anticipation, transporting us back in time to witness this remarkable event firsthand. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the buzz of conversation among spectators who eagerly gathered around this display. Preserved within Historic England's vast archive, this image serves as a window into our past—a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in air travel. It encapsulates not only the spirit of National Aviation Day Displays but also highlights their significant impact on shaping public perception towards flying. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the historical significance it holds and acknowledge those pioneers who paved the way for modern-day aviation experiences that many now take for granted.
